Dallas Cowboys lose to Seattle Seahawks in 34-21 landslide

There's no easy way to say it, Dallas Cowboys didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Seattle Seahawks rolled to a 34-21 win. Seattle Seahawks never trailed in this one, coasting to victory behind Chris Carson (12 points) and Russell Wilson (8). Greg Zuerlein (2-2 FG, 56 long, 2-2 XP) and Ezekiel Elliott (71 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 26 Rec Yds) did their part for Dallas Cowboys in the loss. Seattle Seahawks (1-1) will look to keep it rolling against Phi Eagles (TS), while Dallas Cowboys (1-1) face off against Denver Broncos in an effort to get back on track.
